It's already the case in neighborhoods and apartment/townhome complexes, Amazon's Ring. Can't walk down the street without being recorded on both sides by at least 50% of front doors / driveways. Amazon who was recently caught allowing employees to view hundreds of women's home camera feeds (even indoor cameras, since the average person doesn't fully consider how much a single company can spy on you when there's a camera/microphone reporting directly to their servers).
I await the day whenever secure, self-hosted services are the norm instead of centralized, proprietary services.
Secure, self-hosted services take knowledge to set up. Everyone wants a plug-and-play solution.
What if, over time, we focused on plug-and-play, free (freedom), open-source solutions? Take framework laptops as an example. There was a problem with laptops being difficult to self-service, so they developed a solution. Sure, not THE solution, but progress in the right direction means a lot. As long as we can recognize the faults in centralized services. (Spread relatable awareness), and care enough to support action which further develops decentralization.
